With the above and other objects in View, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction,,to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims. In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of a folding card table with the invention applied.

Figure 2 is an elevation of the invention per se.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the same.

t Figure 4t is a section on the line 47-4: of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is an elevation at right angles to Figure 2.

Figure 6 1s a section on the line 6-6 of Figure 4:.

Referrlng to the drawingin detail wherein 7 like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a receptacle which is preferably made of metal and which is provided with downwardly and inwardly tapered walls which form a point at the bottom of the receptacle. The receptacle is provided atone side with a notch 11 which is designed to receive the leg 12 of a folding card table 13. This notch is rectangular in cross section and is so proportioned as to. readily receive and engage three of the sides of the leg 12.

For the above purpose, the invention prov Extending. from the upper edgeof {the receptacle 10 "at a pointdiametrically .opposite the notchll, arespaced lugs Hand these lugs are adapted to-engage uponop+ posite sides of an inclined braced-'5 which ,65 connects the table .ancl the leg*12 in .a manner to holdwthe leg extended, or to permit ofthe leg being folded inwardly ibeneath thetop of the table.

Extend ng from the innenwall of the recessll is ahor-izontal'ly disposed supporting arm 16 which isjcross; sectionally .curved and [which will act as a tray for conveniently holdingialcigarorcigarette. Extending also from the upper edge -;o-f 99 the receptacle 10are finger pieces 17 which provide. convenient means for handling the receptacle. a v

When the receptacle is positioned as shown in Figure 1 .of'the drawing, tl1e..recess"11 59 will engage the leg 12 as previously described, while the lugs 14: will engage upon opposite sides .of .the br'ace'15 with the bottom or pointed end of the receptacle seated within the crotch formed at the juncture ofyie the leg and brace, as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 4 of the drawing. The receptacle may be readily removed by rasping either of the finger pieces 17 and lifting the receptacle directly upward, and may be replaced so by merely setting the receptacle within the crotch.

The receptacle is adapted for use at any corner of the table, and for this reason, two of the fingerpieces are provided so that one 85 finger piece will extend outward to be conveniently grasped by the user.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is here- 9.0 in reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims. I

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. In combination, a table having an inclined braceconnecting the legs and top, a receptacle having a vertically disposed recessin one side to receive one of the legs of the table, spaced lugs extending from the i other side of the receptacle to detach'ably engage the leg brace, and a horizontally disposed supporting arm at the upper edge of the recess.

2. In combination, a table having an inclined brace connecting the legs and top, a receptacle having a vertically disposed recess inv one side to receive one of the legs of the table, spaced lugs extending from the other side of the receptacle to detachably engage the leg brace, and finger pieces extend-'- ing from the upper edge of the receptacle.

3. In combination, 'a table having inclined braces connecting the legs and top, a receptacle provided with a notch for removably engaging the receptacle with the table leg, and means formed integral with the receptacle at a point diametricallly opposite the notch for removably engaging the receptacle with the braces.

- 4. In combination, a table having a vertically disposed recess in one side to receive one of the legs of the table and spaced lugs extending from the other side of the receptacle and diametrically opposite the recess to detachably engage the brace members.

5. In combination, a table having an inclined brace connecting the leg and top, a receptacle having a vertically disposed recess in one side to receive one of the legs of the table, spaced lugs extending from the other side of the receptacle to detachably engage and straddle the brace members, and

' finger pieces extending from the upper edge of the receptacle at points between the spaced lu s and the vertical recess.

n testimony whereof I affix my signature.
